Louisiana Guest Workers Expose Forced Labor Coverup At Walmart
Supply Chain and Take Protest To Walmart Board Memberâs Home

Mexican guest workers, who peel crawfish for C.J.âs Seafood in Louisiana
confronted their bosses after being forced to work shifts of up to 24 hours,
werenât allowed to take breaks, were cheated out of their overtime pay and
were threatened with physical violence. Ana Diaz, one of the workers said,
âwhen we wanted to take breaks the supervisor threatened to hit us. When
one of our co-workers called the police because she couldnât take the
treatment, then our boss threatened to hurt our families.â Despite the threats,
workers walked off their shift and demanded payment of their unpaid wages.
The workers have extended their protest to Samâs Club, a Walmart subsidiary
that buys 85 percent of C.J.âs crawfish and marched on the New York offices
and penthouse of Walmart board members.
